AEROSOLISABLE FORMULATION
An aerosolized formulation comprising a vapor phase and a liquid water droplet phase, wherein the aerosolized formulation comprises (i) water in an amount of at least 50 wt. % based on the aerosolized formulation; (ii) one or more flavors; and (iii) nicotine; wherein at least 50 wt. % of the one or more flavors is present in the vapor phase. A process for forming an aerosol comprising a vapor phase and a liquid water droplet phase, an electronic aerosol provision system having an aerosolizer for aerosolizing the aerosolizable formulation for inhalation by a user, and a process for improving delivery of flavor to an aerosolized formulation.
AEROSOL GENERATING MATERIAL
Aerosol generating material for inclusion in an aerosol provision system, such as an apparatus for heating aerosol generating material to volatize at least one component thereof, the aerosol generating material including an active substance and a volatile component incorporated by infusion. The invention also relates to methods for preparing such compositions and apparatus including such materials.
AEROSOL GENERATING MATERIAL
Aerosol generating materials for inclusion in an aerosol provision system, such as an apparatus for heating aerosol generating material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosol generating material, the aerosol generating material including a volatile component in solid particulate form, and an active substance. The invention also relates to methods for preparing such materials and apparatus including such materials
Nicotine delivery product and method for producing it
A nicotine delivery product comprising the reaction product of a nicotine/cation exchange resin complex and an organic polyol; and a method for preparing it comprising (a) mixing an aqueous suspension of a nicotine/cation exchange resin complex with an organic polyol or an aqueous solution thereof, and (b) removing water from the mixture to produce said nicotine delivery product. The nicotine delivery product has a nicotine release rate of at least 80% over a 10 minute period. It is particularly suited for use in smoking substitution devices delivering nicotine such as chewing gum, patches, lozenges, melting tablets and tablets for chewing.
LIQUID NICOTINE FORMULATION COMPRISING WATER-IMMISCIBLE SOLVENTS
A liquid nicotine formulation for an aerosol-generating system is provided, the liquid nicotine formulation including: at least one of water and one or more water-miscible solvents; one or more partially water-soluble, water-immiscible solvents having a water solubility at 20° C. of between about 20 mg/ml and about 100 mg/ml; and one or more water insoluble, water-immiscible solvents having a water solubility at 20° C. of less than or equal to about 5 mg/ml, the liquid nicotine formulation having a water-insoluble, water-immiscible solvent content of greater than or equal to about 2 percent by weight. A cartridge containing the liquid nicotine formulation, and an aerosol-generating system, are also provided.
TOBACCO SUBSTITUTE, USE AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF
A tobacco substitute, in particular for use in a waterpipe (shisha), tobacco pipe or electronic cigarette, including a liquid fluid and a carrier material for the fluid is disclosed. To provide a tobacco substitute which forms a denser vapor or denser aerosol in comparison with known tobacco substitute systems, the carrier material of the tobacco substitute includes apatite.
APPLICATION OF A FLAVORANT PARTICLE IN A FILTER OF A SMOKING ARTICLE FOR DELIVERING FLAVOR
A method of manufacturing flavorant particles includes melting a food grade wax and a flavorant into a molten wax; solidifying the molten wax; and grinding the solidified molten wax into a plurality of flavorant particles. Another method of manufacturing flavorant particles includes melting a food grade wax and a flavorant into a molten wax, the molten wax having a melting temperature between about 50° C. to about 70° C.; and spray-chilling the molten wax into at least one solid flavorant particle, the solid flavorant particle having a diameter of between about 0.1 mm to about 2.0 mm.
AN ORAL SMOKELESS MOIST SNUFF PRODUCT
There is provided an oral smokeless moist snuff product comprising: (a) an oral smokeless moist snuff composition comprising: —disintegrated plant material, —one or more salts selected from the group consisting of sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium sulphate, potassium sulphate, sodium lactate, potassium lactate and any combination thereof, and —water, wherein the total amount of the one or more salts is within the range of from about 15% by weight to about 35% by weight based on the total weight of water and total weight of the one or more salts in the oral moist smokeless snuff composition, wherein the total amount of moisture is within the range of from about 35% by weight to about 60% by weight based on the total weight of the oral smokeless moist snuff composition; (b) particles comprising a flavorant and a cellulose-derivatized polymer selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and any combination thereof, wherein the amount of said particles is within the range of from about 1% by weight to about 25% by weight based on the total weight of the oral smokeless moist snuff product.
ELECTRONIC VAPING DEVICE AND KIT
An electronic vaping device includes a roll of material that is impregnated with or includes a coating of at least one additive. The roll of material is positioned between a heater and a mouth-end insert. The additive may include a flavorant, a pH adjusting agent, a vapor former, tobacco material, and nicotine. The roll of material may be formed of a sheet of material. A plurality of sheets of material may be included in a kit.
RECOVERY OF TOBACCO CONSTITUENTS FROM PROCESSING
A method includes volatilizing one or more compounds from tobacco, or reaction products thereof, into a gas stream and recovering at least one of the one or more volatilized compounds or reaction products from the gas stream. The method may be carried out in connection with a dry ice expanded tobacco (“DIET”) process where volatile tobacco compounds are recovered rather than incinerated as is typically done with current DIET processes.
